Snapshots billing

Question

Hello,

I have an EBS volume of 200 gb that has a data consumption of 50 GB.

Question---- when I take first Snapshot will it be for full volume size that's 200 GB or is it of actual data that's 50 GB..

Thanks

Accepted Answer

Thanks for the clear description. In your case, 50 GB will be billed.

Check https://aws.amazon.com/ebs/pricing/ and https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ebs-snapshot-billing/ for more information.

Example 7 – EBS Snapshots

Snapshot storage is based on the amount of space your data consumes in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Because Amazon EBS does not save empty blocks, it is likely that the snapshot size will be considerably less than your volume size.
